Policies for Polytechnic Colleges are set by Technical Education Bodies. The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has established rules and guidelines for giving polytechnic colleges autonomy.
These requirements are essential to any polytechnic institution’s survival and independence.
A MINIMUM OF TEN YEARS OF ACCREDITATION AND EXISTENCE
The institute must be NIIA accredited for at least 30% of its qualifying programs and have been in operation for at least ten years in order to be eligible.
The accreditation ought to remain in effect for an extra year following the date of application submission.
The institution should have been in operation for at least 25 years if this requirement is not satisfied.
COMPOSITION AND EXPERIENCE OF FACULTY
According to AICTE-approved patterns, about half of the faculty members ought to work regularly.
Furthermore, 50% of faculty members should have held their posts for the previous three years, and at least 60% should have more than five years of experience.
Academic Achievement and Enrollment Status
For the previous three academic years, the institution’s results had to have continuously been at 60% or above in every semester.
Furthermore, the applicant’s admission status from the preceding three academic years must have been at least 80%.
ADEQUACY OF INFRASTRUCTURE
When granting an Extension of Approval (EOA) for the current academic year, the school must fulfill AICTE infrastructure standards with no deficiency reports.
SCHOLAR PLACEMENT AND FACILTY DEVELOPMENT
In the current or preceding academic year, more than 50% of faculty members should have completed at least one MOOC, SWAYAM/FDP (minimum two weeks), or Industrial Training (minimum three weeks).
According to final year pass-outs, about 75% of students should have either gotten placement or chosen higher education or entrepreneurship throughout the preceding three academic years.
The aforementioned standards underscore the significance of experience, academic achievement, and infrastructure in guaranteeing polytechnic institutes’ autonomy.
